Gal Gadot's The Runner Debuts to 9% on Rotten Tomatoes, Critics Call It a Career Low

Gal Gadot's new Prime Video thriller The Runner opened to a mere 9% on Rotten Tomatoes, making it her lowest-rated film. Critics are mixed: some praise the pace, but several reviews condemn the film as shallow and a career low for Gadot. The Guardian gave it two stars, while Variety and IGN offered tepid takes; Hollywood Reporter found some merit in its suspenseful pace. The movie follows Gadot as a London attorney racing to save her abducted son, and Gadot’s Wonder Woman exit headlines accompany the release.

"Furiosa and Garfield Struggle at Box Office with Decades-Low Memorial Day Openings"

"Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" had a slow start at the box office, earning $10.2 million from Friday and preview screenings, falling short of expectations. Despite positive reviews and premium large-format screenings, it struggled to match the success of its predecessor, "Mad Max: Fury Road." Competing with "The Garfield Movie," which is projected to earn over $31 million, "Furiosa" faces a tough debut. Other films like "IF," "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes," and "The Fall Guy" also saw varied performances over the Memorial Day weekend.

"Netflix's 'Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver' Receives Mixed Reviews"

Netflix's release of Zack Snyder's "Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver" has garnered extremely low review scores, currently ranging between 8% and 14% on Rotten Tomatoes, making it Snyder's worst-rated film to date. Despite Snyder's plans for an R-rated director's cut, the PG-13 versions have failed to impress critics and audiences, raising questions about the future of the franchise. With Snyder hinting at the need for four to six films to tell the story, it remains uncertain if Netflix will greenlight a third installment, especially given the lackluster performance of the first film.

"Sibling Survival: A Forgettable Remake of 'Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead' Receives Mixed Reviews"

The remake of "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" featuring a mostly Black cast doesn't significantly enhance the underwhelming storyline of the original. Directed by Wade Allain-Marcus and with Tyra Banks as one of its executive producers, the film closely follows the original plot with minor changes and seems more suited for streaming than a theatrical release. Despite some amusing lines and the charms of lead actress Simone Joy Jones, the remake lacks the subversiveness that could have justified its existence, and even fans of the original may not find much to get excited about.
